Castellano also describes sources of indigenous knowledge. So where, where is this knowledge coming from? And the first source that she describes is traditional sources of knowledge and what. What this is means is, kind of the body of stories and, and ceremonies and practices and, and knowledge that elders will transmit orally to the next generation. So there's. It's that collective wisdom that's told in the stories, that's described and modeled and practiced in the actions of those others. So we learn that knowledge, that traditional know-, knowledge from, from the modeling behavior and from the stories that are told. It's important because it's not just the content that is passed on in the, in this way, traditionally. But its values and beliefs about how to be so prescriptions for behavior as well, come through this, this passing on of knowledge in a traditional fashion so that, That the values, the resources, the content, the practices that have as their origin, you know, some, some, some amount of practice or engagement in the past is now being passed on to the current generation, whether it's through story, through practices and modeling that those elders are doing. So it's a traditional source in that the community is continuing to engage with the stories and the practices. They're taking it up in the present moment but it has as it's, as it's source as, the, the place where it's being passed on is that. Older generation, and that's the traditional component that Castellano's talking about.
